Ren observed while the serpent appeared in the arena covered with roots the Wolverine had established. The creature seemed aware of the danger the vegetation represented, coiling cautiously in a defensive position rather than charging directly.
But cautiousness wasn't sufficient when the complete field was so saturated with threats that couldn't be avoided simply by being careful.
The roots responded to the serpent's presence fast permitting no evasion by their sheer numbers. They coiled around the long coiled body, still with dozens of contact points, establishing simultaneously as the vegetation took advantage of every centimeter of exposed surface. Within seconds the serpent was surrounded almost as completely as the Amphibian had been, with constriction preventing movement while the roots began the parasitic drainage process.
It seemed that despite the weird color it would be a quick victory replicating the success against the Amphibian.
